Omnipollo Leon (Levon) Belgian-style Pale Ale

Omnipollo Leon (Levon) Belgian-style Pale Ale

Tired of talking my friends into pit stops at beer bars before heading “out” - in fear of having to drink bland lager all night - I set out to craft an ale that would act as companion throughout the evening. Leon is assertively hopped and fermented dry using champagne yeast. The yeast and the hops in combination with a simple malt bill provides the beer with a quality of being rich in taste yet refreshing.

Skål!

3.2 Presented in a comically huge bottle, this very wheaty Belgian ale was a ice change from all the Swedish lagers. Not a show-stopper, but nice.
3.5 Almost clear, golden. Aroma: white grape, flowers, some spicy hops. Dry with moderate spicy bitterness and light sourness. Very drinkable. good.
3.4 Draught at The Head of Steam, Birmingham as Omnipolo Levon. Clouded amber with white head. Resinous, herby in character from the off, quite astringent and bitter. There is a spicy background, some pepper. Fulish. It's good.
3.6 Bottle, 0.33l. Cloudy copper pour, huge frothy white head. Excellent retention, long lasting. Thick lacing on the glass as it goes down. Herbal yeasty nose, coriander notes, touch of citrus fruits, grapefruit and lime. Mild peppery. Light body, medium carbonation. Fizzy mouthfeel, prickly on the tongue. Average texture, a bit lightweight. Smooth nonetheless. Mild bitter taste paired with subtle sweet/sour combo, nicely balanced. Aroma of Belgian yeast, coriander, citruses. Mild caramel. Citric acid, mild acidic. Zesty. Floral. Short to medium lasting finish, dry, mild spicy and a bit sour. Decent brew.
3.7 22.01.2020 - 0.33l bottle from coop in basel. pours a hazy pale golden with a steady dense head. aroma of belgian yeast, funk, flowers, coriander, pears. quite aromatic. flavour of white wine, grapefruit, oranges, grass. slightly sweet and astringent. pleasant.
3.6 Smell of overripe fruit, yeast, some hops. Muddy lemon colour, very high white head. Aroma of flowers, yeast, spices, some overripe fruit and hops. All flavours very subtle and nothing dominates. Nicely balanced. Lively carbon. Fruity and fresh. Light body.

3.6 Deep gold with a thick rocky off-white head. The aroma is spicy floral belgian funk. The taste is the same and reminds me of a more aggressive KBC Belgian Pale Ale. Medium bodied and finishing dry as you'd expect. The only thing that detracts from it is the sediment in the bottle was a bit off putting and the beer tends to gush out of the glass. All in all quite nice.
3.2 Slightly hazy light-amber pour with off-white head; lastig well. Malty, light hoppy, delicate fruity aroma. Mild bitter and mild sweet taste, with bitter aftertaste. It's a nice ale, with a bit covered character. But regarding the fame of Omnipollo, I'd expect a more specific beer.
3.6 Bière pression bue au craft touch lors du festival Biere à Lille. Nez sur les céréales. Bouche sèche. Plutôt reussie!
3.4 Aroma: Dusty fruity hops with citrus. Flavour: Dry bitter with grapefruit and a dry bitter finish. Colour: Amber with a condense white head. From: Bottle @ BestOfBeer webshop Oct. 2019.
3.8 Blommig, ngt syrlig doft. Citrus smak viss beska.
4.2 Colo marrón anaranjado, elevada turbidez. Tres dedos de espuma cremosa con excelente retención. Aroma a cereal, flores, pino, naranja, caramelo y notas de vino blanco, especias y levadura. Gusto maltoso, caramelo, resina, pino, miel, mermelada de naranja amarga, levadura y ligeramente especiada, amargor medio. Cuerpo semioleoso. Aún estoy flipando con el birrazo que me acabo de beber y no daba un duro por ella, excelente.
3.7 Vyborny golden ale, lahky, jemny belgicky nadych so zaujimavym char.chmela
3.0 Color entre amarillento y anaranjado, bastante turbio, con capa de espuma blanca de tres dedos de grosor -apariencia jabonosa y buena retención-. Carbonatación difícil de percibir visualmente debido a la turbidez. Textura demasiado efervescente en boca, cuesta paladear de inicio. Aroma a hierba húmeda, cítricos muy maduros, casi en proceso de fermentación, cereal, recuerdos de levadura belga, hojas, recuerdos de especias y flores. Lo mismo en boca, aunque tanto en aroma como en boca tiene un toque de suciedad que no convence en absoluto. Escaso dulzor. Atisbo de acidez y amargor casi resinoso y bastante fuerte al final del trago. Seca en postgusto. Una especie de Pale Ale belga que parece hecha aprisa y corriendo.
3.4 Color naranja claro, turbia, translúcida. Espuma blanca de tres dedos de espesor y buena retención, mantiene una fina capa que no desaparece nunca. Aroma a cereal, naranja, más dulce que ácida aunque no llega a mandarina, ligero caramelo, uva blanca, levadura y leves toques a hierba seca. Sabor a cereal, ligero caramelo y final de amargor cítrico y seco. Textura entre acuosa y sedosa. Carbonatación media alta.
3.2 From A beer hawk mystery case. Pours golden orange with a haze. Small head. Fresh orange aroma. Sweet Taste of malt , hops. Very smooth. Fruity. Hoppy aftertaste. Not too bad if a little sweet.
3.7 Cloudy ochre yellow. Huge white head. Thick laces. Nose: spicy and leathery yeast, pale malts, apples and pears. Light to medium body. Soft carbonation. Taste: dryish, spicy, fruity, hoppy at finish. Medium minus bitterness. Good ale. No objections.
3.3 Bottle from Mash Pit. Hazy orange, thick porous froth. Malty, metallic, dried apricots. Full bodied, yet dry and quite bitter.
3.5 Rocky white head left a frothy cover on a hazy dark golden still body. Citrus, lemon, malt & yeast aroma. Medium, overly carbonated with an airy feel & tingly clean back. Tangy citrus tastes with lemon, sherbet, yeast, confectionery & spices with a peppery finish.
3.7 Erg lekker gistig biertje die neigt naar een zachte bitter. Ietwat citrus, beetje zoetig, goede doordrinker. Erg lekker.
2.7 Lagom kolsyrat, mycket smak, mycket mjukbskum. Besk men med en mjuk avrundning. Mysigt att fira inflyttning av finaste med.
3.2 Mycket, mycket skum. Vacker bärnstensfärgad dryck. Sticker inte ut på något sätt. Tvärtom väldigt alldaglig för en Omnipollo.
3.2 Draft at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours loaded gold, fairly transparent, with a good head of very fine white foam. Aroma is delicate floral and citrus. Body is average, like carbonation. Taste is moderately bitter. Finish is fairly long and bitter.
3.4 Color dorado anaranjado medio turbio con espuma alta blanca de excelente retención y residuo. Aroma a cereal blanco, frutas blancas fermentadas, cilantro y levadura. Sabor a hierba, hierbas aromáticas y cereal poco tostado con notas a fruta fermentada y pino. Gusto amargo intenso con final ligeramente dulce, regusto amargo herbal duradero. Cambia muchísimo con la temperatura, se vuelve más suave de amargor y salen a la luz los sabores a cereal, pero de forma un tanto sosa. Textura chispeante, cuerpo medio y carbonatación alta. Dista mucho de ser una Belgian Ale, fuertemente amarga por lúpulos herbales y resinosos. Por otra parte recuerda bastante a una witbier, pero en estetoides.
3.2 Trevlig
